In alliance with our members, we guide them through the process of strengthening their organizations. Under our guidance and governance pillar, we have developed strategic interventions to help new grassroots organizations navigate through their first 3-5 years.
Our activities are in close collaboration with the local county governments where these organizations are registered – an approach we believe is more successful in achieving long-term support and meaningful participation in local policy-making.
Our Aims
To create an orientation course for new founders in partnership with local county governments.
To create a digital database comprising all the local actors in their ecosystem of change.
This will provide newly registered grassroots organizations with the necessary support and give access to the following key information:
- Other grassroots organizations operating in the same county, and their activities
- The actors and stakeholders operating locally and internationally helpinggrassroots organizations to grow and how to connect with them
- How to differentiate between the work of others and avoid local duplication
- The steps and requirements of an organization to become donor-ready in a short period of time
- The milestones that grassroots organizations need to achieve to become sustainable within the first 3-5 years
- The steps they need to take to scale from a CBO to a NGO
Impact
By filling the existing gaps together with local authorities we will be able to create a system change solution for all the newly registered grassroots organizations and increase their chances of success and long-term impact. With this system in place, the county governments will be able to better monitor the impact created by the local grassroots organizations and more easily integrate their development work into local governance and policy-making.
